I have blue LED lighting under my gunwales and prefer it to red which was on my last boat. Dealers choice here. The oars.....um, not really man...unless you just feel like making oars to get in your way.Do you plan on installing oar locks?

You sure you want a tee top?

I'll probably decide against it again and just wear my tilly. 
There's an sc23 with a radar arch instead of a t top that the dude really likes. He does the same, just wear a hat.
Then ttop money = 4G radar and an arch |

Likwid,
Have you tried that dripless teflon packing yet instead of going with a PSS seal? Was wondering how hot they get. If your rpm, fpm are lower than the suggested amount of travel. I was thinking of trying it at some point.

Yep, I run that now (the goretex), works great, but been needing to replace the stuffing box thru hull. So might as well go dripless while I'm at it. |

No oar locks, as I said, not going to be rowing this boat.
There were a few times this year I could have used an oar as a paddle or push pole though, and I have seen many boats similar to mine carrying one. It wont be in the way under the gunwale.
Going to order the blue led light strips. Do you have a dimmer switch on yours?

I used my oars quite often, for those same reasons Bob. I could get my 13'dory in pretty close to spots that all I needed was a push off a rock or to paddle just a little bit closer...without fear of banging up the prop etc...then again, I can't drive fer#^&#^&#^&#^&, so paddling let's me do it slower  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Gilly, this past year I had a rope stuck in my prop, and was dangerously close to some rocks in choppy water.
I immediately deployed my anchor, but was getting pushed closer to the rocks as I tried to cut and untangle the rope.
With a paddle onboard I could have at least moved the boat a safe distance away from the rocks first.
Damaged a nerve on my left ring finger pulling on that freiking rope.
